Collagerie is an exhibition which ran from the 11th -17th October at Stew Gallery, Norwich, lucky for us at Norwich School Stew Gallery is just around the corner so we had the chance to experience this truly inspiring show first hand.

“Collagerie is a celebration of collage art and the individual styles of contemporary artists using traditional cut and paste techniques.”

All imagery is created through cut and paste technique with no technology involved. Almost all of the artists seem to gain inspiration from found imagery, magazines, newspapers, old flyers, posters, anything they can get there hands on. From here the artists cut and paste to create new meanings and narratives to the found images, becoming the artists own work. This traditional method of making work was really inspiring to the pupils and they even had the chance to create their own collages.
